Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

14.6K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

First Pass Effect01:12

First Pass Effect

9.7K
Presystemic elimination, or the first-pass effect, is the metabolism of drugs that reduces their effective concentration at the site of action. Apart from the first-pass effect, the systemic bioavailability of the drug is also reduced by other factors, including incomplete absorption or chemical degradation of drugs.
Depending on the route of administration, drugs can be metabolized in the liver, intestine, lungs, and vasculature. Orally administered drugs are first absorbed through the...

Single-pass Transmembrane Proteins

6.8K
Integral membrane proteins are tightly associated with the cell membrane and play a crucial role in cell communication, signaling, adhesion, and transport of the molecules. Some integral membrane proteins are present only in the membrane monolayer. For example, the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase is present in the cytoplasmic side of the membrane monolayer. In contrast, another type of integral membrane protein, also known as a transmembrane protein, spans across the membrane. Transmembrane...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

11.1K
Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Factors Influencing Bioavailability: First-Pass Elimination01:23

Factors Influencing Bioavailability: First-Pass Elimination

8.2K
When a drug is taken orally, it undergoes a journey starting from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, passing through the portal vein, reaching the liver, and finally entering the systemic circulation. This process involves the absorption of the drug across the GI tract. The liver is the primary site for metabolizing the drug, with some metabolism also occurring in the gut wall. This journey significantly reduces the quantity of the drug that reaches the systemic circulation, a phenomenon known as...

Insertion of Single-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER

Integral membrane proteins are proteins adhered to the lipid bilayer of a cell organelle or membrane. They can be of two types: transmembrane integral proteins that span the lipid bilayer and monotopic proteins that are attached to either side of the membrane but do not pass through it.
Integral transmembrane proteins possess transmembrane and extra membrane domains. The transmembrane domains are primarily made of 20-25 hydrophobic amino acids arranged in a helical secondary confirmation. These...

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Biomedical Imaging
    • Super-resolution Microscopy

    Background:

    • Super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) offers enhanced resolution but faces challenges with high-order cumulant calculations and shot noise.
    • Existing SOFI methods struggle to effectively suppress noise while achieving high-order resolution enhancement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new scheme for super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) that broadens its applicability to high-order analyses.
    • To separate shot noise elimination from cumulant computation in SOFI by integrating a low-pass denoising (LPD) operator.

    Main Methods:

    • The proposed method, LPD-SOFI, derives high-order cumulants from moment recursion.
    • Shot noise is suppressed by applying the LPD operator directly to the raw imaging data.
    • The technique was experimentally validated using sparse samples of quantum dots.

    Main Results:

    • LPD-SOFI achieved a 10.6-fold lateral resolution enhancement at the 16th cumulant order.
    • A seven-fold three-dimensional resolution enhancement was observed with the 10th cumulant order.
    • The LPD operator effectively suppressed shot noise, improving image quality.

    Conclusions:

    • The integration of LPD with SOFI provides a robust approach for high-order super-resolution imaging.
    • This method significantly enhances both lateral and 3D resolution, overcoming limitations of previous SOFI techniques.
    • LPD-SOFI demonstrates potential for advanced nanoscale imaging applications.
